Experiments don’t have to be big or complicated. They can be gentle, playful steps into new possibilities. Here are some ways it might look:

Relationships You deeply value your relationship with your teenage daughter, but lately things feel tense. You notice that many conflicts arise when you ask if she’s done x, y, or z. Those questions help you feel on top of things, but they don’t go over well with her.

Guiding Question: What happens in our relationship if I shift from checking tasks to showing care and curiosity?

So you design an experiment: for one week, you’ll stop asking task-related questions and instead ask about her day or offer a compliment. You want to know will this lower the tension between us?

There’s no way to fail. If you find yourself asking the same check-in questions, that’s simply information. It’s a chance for self-reflection: What feelings or beliefs made it hard to shift? If you do run the experiment and tension eases (but chores slip and your stress rises), that’s valuable data too, and it points the way toward your next experiment.

Work You take pride in your strong work ethic and want to excel. But you procrastinate on big projects, leaving them to the last minute, then scramble under stress. You tell yourself you work best under pressure, but the stress takes a toll on your health and relationships.

Guiding Question: What changes if I give focused, consistent time to this project instead of waiting for the pressure of a deadline?

Your experiment: for one week, set aside an hour each day for project work. When the time comes, notice the thoughts, emotions, and body sensations that arise as you sit down to focus.

No failure here — every attempt gives you useful data about your patterns and what supports you best.

Stress You want to feel more peaceful and at ease, but you carry a lot of stress and the need to control. Friends and your therapist have suggested relaxation practices, but you rarely follow through.

Guiding Question: What happens to my sense of calm if I try a small, daily practice of releasing tension?

Your experiment: choose one practice that feels doable. For a week, while your coffee brews, close your eyes, relax your shoulders, and take five deep breaths into a softened belly.

The aim isn’t perfection but discovery. Any resistance, forgetfulness, or difficult thoughts is information. With kind curiosity, you can notice what helps, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to try next.

Something powerful happens in groups: we feel less alone. We hear echoes of our own struggles in others’ stories, and we gain courage from their experiments and insights.

In a group, learning is multiplied. One person’s reflection sparks another’s aha moment. One person’s courage strengthens the whole circle.

It can feel vulnerable to step into a group, but time and again participants discover that community makes the work stick. Experiments become more playful, insights go deeper, and the practice of change feels lighter when we’re doing it together.

An added gift is the beautiful, and oftentimes lasting, connections you form along the way.

Due to the personal nature of this workshop, sessions are not recorded.
